Award-winning choral ensemble Ladysmith Black Mambazo has been spreading their distinctive a cappella sound around the world for more than 50 years with an engaging stage presence, crackling choreography and music that conveys the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions. While the group's signature soul-stirring harmonies catapulted them to platinum-selling status on their home turf, they went on to capture the world's attention with their stirring vocals on Paul Simon's seminal album Graceland. They've racked up four Grammys and performed with everyone from Dolly Parton to Michael Jackson to the cast of Sesame Street. Ladysmith Black Mambazo now brings their uplifting voices and rhythms to Kirkland Performance Center.
